I'd love to go see them there but no way can I make arrangements at such short notice and get there in time. Its only a couple of hours drive but I just can't work it. Even a couple of days notice beforehand would be good.

On the one hand, I LOVE that they're doing so much to keep tickets out of the hands of touts and in the hands of true fans.

But on the other hand, it means you REALLY have to be flexible. And it makes me angry that everything the guys have done (re: popping up shows last minute, popping up tix last minute, paperless ticket delivery) is all because of TOUTS. *expletives*

A little notice really would be nice, scalpers or not. It's a shame that the ticket outlets have to jump through so many hoops because of a few jerky bad apples, and the fans have to suffer because of them. I'm glad more people have the chance to see them, but on such last minute notice, are all the seats filled, or are there glaring gaps of empties in the good sections?

Sad! The worst part is that a lot of these new tickets will probably be purchased by casual fans, who just thought it sounded like fun at the last second, or hardcore fans who will spend more money to get a better seat, and possibly end up with wasted tickets. I'm really sorry that you can't go Sherry. If I lived closer, I'd offer to babysit or something!

In any event, I hope that everyone who attends has a great time, and that people who have been dying to see them live will finally get their chance!
